8-bit sound effect generator: make retro game SFX and save as WAV
Pick a preset, shape it with the sliders, and save it as a WAV file. Retro blips, coins, jumps, lasers, hits and explosions for games, videos and streams.
The sound is calculated in this page, in your browser. No sample files are loaded and nothing is uploaded or stored. You can use the sounds you make in commercial projects without credit.
How it works and what you may do with the sounds
- Random builds a sound from a number (the seed). Opening the same link gives the same sound, so you can bookmark or share a sound you like.
- Save WAV writes 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, mono PCM with no metadata (no author name, no software tag).
- The sounds are generated, not taken from a sound library. Use them freely in games, videos and streams, including commercial ones; no credit needed. Please do not copy this page itself.
FAQ
Can I use the sounds in a commercial game or video?
Yes. The sounds are synthesized in your browser from the settings you choose, not taken from a sample library, so you can use them in games, videos and streams, including commercial ones, without credit. Please do not copy this page itself.
What format is the WAV file?
44.1 kHz, 16-bit, mono PCM. No metadata chunk is written, so the file carries no author name or software tag.
How do I get the same sound again later?
Press 'Copy link to this sound' and keep the link. The settings live in the part of the address after #, so opening the link rebuilds the same sound. Random sounds come from a seed number, so the same link always gives the same result.
Does it upload anything or use sample files?
No. The page calculates every sound with JavaScript in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or loaded from a sound library.
Why is there no sound when I press Play?
Browsers only start audio after you interact with the page, and a muted tab or device stays silent. Press Play again after clicking the page, and check the tab and system volume.
